look at that, romney, romney, romney, romney. one county out here that seems to be leaning santorum's way. when you get up here to this state with rural areas and little cities. look at who showed up today. it's an open primary. 12% of the voters were democratic. see who they chose. 30% independent. it will be interesting to see what happened with them. look at this, the biggest group were the moderates or the liberals in terms of who showed up by ideology and how they see themselves. ief u lo if you look at born-again evangelical christians, we know rick santorum has done very well all over the country but 64% of people do not put themselves in that category. that's very different from louisiana where he had a big sweep so we'll have to see if that works against him and whether or not these people who are not born-again evangelical christians then get on board with mitt romney. 57% of the people support that, and that should work in favor of rick santorum. again, we'll have to see if it does because there has been some endorseme

wolf just wrapped up a lengthy interview with governor romney. tell me, wolf, is there a headline that pertains to this visit you can share with us? >> reporter: he did say flatly that he regards jerusalem as israel's capital, candy, and he said that he would very much like to move the united states' embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. as you know, since the 1967 war when israel captured east jerusalem, which was then under jordanian control, no u.s. president has ever recognized east jerusalem, including the old city of jerusalem, as being part of israel under israeli sovereignty. and the u.s. has always kept its embassy in tel aviv as opposed to jerusalem. so i asked him how he felt about that. i asked him specifically, do you think that jerusalem is israel's capital? and he said absolutely he does. i said, do you think that the united states should move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem? he said that would be the goal, but he said if he were elected president, he would consult with the israeli government. and if the israeli government sai

governor romney at 206 the dark red solid. we have wisconsin as leaning obama. in the exit polls tonight, ari fleischer, the voters say they are inclined at least if the election today, president obama would have won by a decent margin. do we keep this light blue or do you say move it? >> wisconsin always was going to be about -- a battleground state. but in 2000, george bush lost it by only 5,000 votes. it was really a tie. and in 2004, he lost it by 11,000 votes. almost 3 million votes cast. so wisconsin is an extraordinarily close battleground state. i have a hard time seeing big labor returning in fall to put in a lot of effort since he didn't show up for them. >> forgive me for interrupting. go ahead. >> one other issue. i think we have to throw out the exit polls about obama/romney because this exit poll doesn't seem to be right about walker/barrett. we have to see what the final result is of course in the actual tally. looks like the top line numbers are way off. >> the exit poll numbers are way off. sometimes things change. but ari raises a key point. i'

isn't romney's record fair game? >> i hope they continue to go after bain and i hope they do it through november because i have a feeling it will continue to backfire. i think that's one of the reasons so many democrats are uneasy with the attacks. and certainly when you look what mitt romney said, he actually has said very balanced statement. he said some of the investments made were successful and made money and created jobs. others didn't. >> he said 100,000 jobs -- >> romney has made that balanced statement about it. and what's really wrong about the ads while it's certainly fair game to talk about what people did in their living, he have gone from bain. he was gone from both the companies that they have attacked him for years before the companies went bankrupt. so even if you think bankruptcy in itself is disqualifying in the private sector, mitt romney was no longer part of the company. >> but ari, he said he helped to create 100,000 jobs and that math is kind of fuzzy. he does walk away from things at bain tha

. >> totally obama versus romney. what was so interesting to me tonight, in mitt romney's speech after wisconsin, he started talking about president obama as being out of touch. saying that he was surrounded by true believers and it's easy when you travel around on air force one to get out of touch. you just heard joe biden say and david axelrod are saying that mitt romney is the one out of touch. so i think we have already teed up one part of the argument which is who's the person who's more out of touch with real americans and with the middle class? and so i think that's the beginning of another argument they have already started. >> i think it's fair to say the president for the next several months will try to take the relatively high road and leave the attack dog role to biden, axelrod and others. >> i'm not so sure about that. >> really? you think he'll get down there. because he wants that presidential aura about him. i think that resonates with a lot of folks. >> i think he'll use a stiletts, but not a sledgeha
